I booted the update up. They added two new BGM to Grid, and Jin's music is in the files as well. No new Fighting Chance costume or Dojo items it seems. Still unpacking the files.
That's either a shit-ton of ads or there is a lot of stuff being added we don't know about. Interesting...
According to steam.db the update is adding +1.8 GB, which is pretty substantial. For comparison, the Dojo update was +1.19 GB, and that added a ton of models for the Dojo stage. The G + Sagat update was +1.48 GB. It should be noted that whenever they make us download everything again, they end up incorporating the in-game downloaded .paks into the main files, so that would account for ~450 MB. Still, that's 1.4 GB of new stuff.
Yes that's most likely it. I doubt that they prepared the costumes to get ads beforehand, so we certainly have to download updated versions of every costumes that will get ads.
Yeah, I thought it would be a small update to add textures, but I went back and look at the screenshots and realized that Alex actually had a new title belt to display the ad. I wonder if they updated the original meshes entirely and are just gonna use their invisible method to hide parts if people turn the ads off? If they're adding new stuff like that to the models, that could inflate the size, but even with that I don't think it'd reach 1.4 GB.
I think making us redownload the entire game this week makes it even less likely that they'd make us redownload everything again next week. Then again, this is Capcpom.
